Description
high flash rate, short-arc xenon lamp for the UV (220-750 nm)
The PX-2 operates at speeds up to 220 Hz, offers excellent pulse-topulse stability and has two trigger modes for software control of the flash rate.
The flash rate is modified by changing the integration period. Because it produces a pulsed signal, the PX-2 is less likely to contribute to solarization in optical fiber assemblies, which can occur when fibers are illuminated with signal <300 nm.
